ChadTower:

Camera model number, please.  I used to work on the Kodak digital cameras.

IMHO: Cradles suck. They may seem "cool" and "Mac like", but they are worthless as ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- as a GP (general purpose) thing (I recycle old computer stuff, so anything this proprietary is a NO-GO-SUCK-MY-CLIT NON-OPTION.) That is my IMFHO.

Down thea girl!  Hmhmhmhm.  I dunno. It came with the camera, and I bought the whole deal for $200, so I can't complain. I think cradles are great, though, cos you just set the thing down and presto.

MM. Okay - it's an Easyshare DX7590.

It's a full peripheral.  The connector is a system bus and the dock has some decent firmware in it for making printing user friendly to the novice.  This one isn't a USB passthru.

Does it still take photos and video properly?  Can you transfer content through the direct USB connection?  If you can do those things my best guess is that you cracked a solder joint on one of the dock port pins that is used by the dock but not USB.  This camera probably carries some of the software I worked on but did come out just after I left Kodak so if I ever saw the physical layout I don't remember it.

Ummon:
Mm, thanks. Yes, and yes, it does. Probly just as you say.
